[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Chatfield Banding Station, 5/18/24

It was a beautiful morning - cool, sunny, no wind - and birds were making lots of noise.  Given all that, the numbers today were disappointing - only 15 new birds. (Also caught 10 that had been previously caught this season - all migrants that are likely to stick around for the summer.) Caught 3 of the Brown-headed Cowbirds and 1 of the Cedar Waxwings that have been around for a week or so.

Here's today's breakdown:

Downy Woodpecker 1

House Wren 1

Gray Catbird 2 new, 1 banded 2023

Cedar Waxwing 1

Yellow Warbler 1 new, 1 each banded 2021, 2022, and 2023

Yellow-breasted Chat 1

Chipping Sparrow 1

Brown-headed Cowbird 2 new, 1 banded 2022

We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting.  You can register to visit on the weekends through the Denver Audubon website.  (Some times/days are sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
